This may sound a bit sacrilegious, but I do think Trials and Tribulations has its fair share of problems that hold this game back from being a perfect finale for the trilogy.

The third case of this one is also pretty bad. At times, I even thought its characters were more annoying than the circus guys, who could at least sometimes get a laugh out of me. It was introduced in Justice For All at first, but this game is arguably more annoying about it, which is the amount of unfunny pervert characters. They kind of ruined Larry for me in this game because of this. Dahlia Hawthorne is a really great villain except for the that very weird writing decision they make in regard to Terry Fawles and her that I’m sure you can get at what I’m saying. Its just a bunch of small elements that don’t sit right with me.

However, the final case of this game is an amazing way to tie all the characters together and conclude all the remaining threads the trilogy has. The way it even ties back to DL-6 was incredible and satisfying and elevates the trilogy as a fantastic set of games, even with their flaws.

primeiro caso da trilogia: prove por que seu amigo Larry não matou uma mulher

último caso: MULHER DE FOGO VOANDO ATRAVÉS DE UMA PONTE, POSSESSÃO ESPIRITUAL, 4 SUSPEITOS E 3 ARMAS, CULTURA JAPONESA, FILOSOFIA, IDENTIDADE, SIGNIFICADO DE JUSTIÇA

the only time a lawyer can cry is when it's all over... que jogo foda

We return once again to the role of Phoenix Wright for the conclusion of this trilogy. Where Justice For All floundered due to poor writing and some tedious cases, Trials and Tribulations is a masterful return to form. Trials and Tribulations features a wonderful through-line that uses flashbacks to Phoenix and Miles' earliest days as lawyers, and is heavily connected to characters like the now long-dead Mia Fey; the end result is a lengthy and twisting plotline that ties together across both past and present. Our main opponent across the stand is Godot, an effortlessly cool antagonist, but the real star here is the writing, which stands head and shoulders above either of the other 2 entries.

The end of a journey I started many years back.

There are other Ace Attorney games, and guaranteed, I will be playing them. But this is a conclusion to the original characters, those who we fell in love with through the course of this trilogy.

As a resolution, this is as satisfying as you could ask for; new characters and cases interact with old ones to create a mystery and drama transversal to the series. A trip to the past fleshes out current characters and prepares us for an emotionally heavy finale, one where we might even shed some tears for both a person long gone and one we only just met.
